King sets sight for $7.6 billion IPO

3.9
King, the outfit behind Candy Crush Saga, is queued to launch on the NYSE on March 26th with a expected value of upwards to $7.6 billion. The published recorded revenues of 160 million in 2012 to a astounding $1.9 billion just one year later, the company is hoping to start trading at £21-$24 per share. King delayed their IPO last year in order to assure their investors that they were more than just Candy Crush.

Do you think King will succeed where Zygna failed and become more than a one trick pony?

In my opinion I think that those stocks will be very larger than what they think they will be if they keep making games like candy crush!

But they're probably not more than just Candy Crush... I've never heard of anything else put out by them.


Yeah candy crush was really popular and the most money maker.
